    Drop the needle…read more.. This place spins like a vintage '70s record and old school soul with a fresh new groove. From the outside, you get that classic hotel vibe, but step inside and it's been remastered into something effortlessly cool... warm, stylish, and just the right amount of hip. Now let's talk about the room, clean? No... immaculately pressed. Easily the cleanest hotel room we've ever stayed in. Everything felt dialed in, like every detail hit its note perfectly. Location? Right on track. Price? A total steal and it's like finding a rare vinyl in the bargain bin. Parking? Smooth and easy, no scratches on this record. And the staff... nothing but good vibes. Friendly, welcoming, the kind of people that make you want to stay on side B a little longer. We'll definitely be back again--this one's going into heavy rotation. The record player added a great touch. Grab a vinyl at check in and drop the needle !

    Cozy, blast from the past, central location for all that Pacific City has to offer. It really does…read moreremind you of something out of a movie, the entrance into the central courtyard giving motor lodge vibes. The location right on Brooten is perfect, you can't miss it. The man staffing the office when I checked in on a Thursday night was really nice. Not in a forced way, nor did he seem like he was tired that he does this every day. He was truly kind, relaxed, helpful and informative. And there was a lot of information to give. The record library that you can borrow from is extensive, I barely scratched the surface (not of the records of course!). Having the update of a door code instead of keys was nice. The rooms were generous in size and had everything we needed - desk for piling my stuff on, TV, single serve coffee maker, two beds, bathroom, mini fridge and microwave. Couple notes that really don't count against the place but just to make one aware - the beds felt like maybe they weren't quite queen sized but almost full sized? I don't know, I couldn't figure it out but then again, I haven't slept in a queen in awhile. But they were comfortable. Also, where the coffee maker was, on the desk under the TV, there were no outlets. Two blank outlet covers under the desk and the outlet being taken up for the TV but no outlet for the coffee maker. I ended up putting it on a nightstand. Works fine, just a weird thing. I really loved the faux-vintage mini fridges and in some rooms, matching microwaves. Location of this hotel is great, you can walk to most things quite easily. No sidewalks, but that's ok. I would stay here again!

    I'm staying at the Commodore Hotel in Astoria for the first time, and after 40 years of traveling,…read morethis is my first stay in a hotel without a private bathroom. The setting has a classic feel, with antique details like the steel radiator and retro windows. The room is small but clean and full of character. At $350 for two nights, it feels a bit expensive, but it offers a unique experience. There is a shared men's and women's bathroom on each floor, along with two showers. There is no A/C--just a fan in the room. We also noticed a fairly strong dog smell inside the elevator and in the bedroom, even though we like dogs. I was initially worried about noise from upstairs with a family of four (including two kids), but that hasn't been an issue. Most of the noise came from the bar across the street, where groups were loud late into the night. I used the complimentary earplugs for the first time in years of staying at hotels, and they were helpful. I could still hear the noise, and it continued until after 3:10 a.m., when the conversations outside the bar finally died down. On the bright side, the manager and staff are friendly and professional. If you're looking for a historic, classic stay, this is a distinctive option--just be aware of the shared facilities, the pet odor, and the potential for street noise.

    Stay somewhere else! An industrial ventilation fan somewhere in the building or on its roof…read moregenerates vibration and noise in the guest rooms. We were in 303. It was *bad*. I have found a review mentioning the problem that is a year old, so this situation has to be known to the owners. Maybe the noise does not reach all the rooms, but I wouldn't gamble on it if I were you because it will be too late for a refund. Guests at a hotel have a reasonable expectation of a quiet room, so this seems to be a very dishonest business practice.
